Energy absorption and bending stiffness in CFRP laminates : the effect of 45º plies
David-West, Opukuro; Alexander, Nicholas; Nash, David; Banks, William (2008-07)The impact characteristics of cross-ply and angle-ply composite laminates were investigated, with an instrumented impact drop tester by performing gravity-assisted drop tests on [0/90]6s and [0/45/90]4s laminates. The ... -
An experimental study of damage accumulation in balanced CFRP laminates due to repeated impact
David-West, Opukuro; Nash, David; Banks, William (2008-05)The behaviour of balanced laminates (symmetric, antisymmetric and asymmetric) under repeated low energy hits of a 12.1 mm hemispheric impactor was evaluated. The resistance to the impulsive force was found to be influenced ... -
Low velocity heavy mass impact response of single curve composites
David-West, Opukuro; Nash, David; Banks, William (2014-01)This article presents an extensive experimental investigation of singly curved fibre-reinforced composite structures subjected to low energy heavy mass impact. The objective of the study is to understand the contribution ...
